Abstract
Since achieving first collisions, almost nine years ago BNL's Relativistic Heavy
Ion Collider (RHIC) has uncovered evidence for a new state of matter dubbed the
"Perfect Liquid". There remain however many open questions about the
characteristics of this perfect liquid. In this talk I will present a selection
of data from RHIC and other facilities, mainly from results shown at the recent
'Quark Matter' conference, which summarise the status of this investigation.
